Well, after a several month hiatus, Among the Captured is back. Unfortunately, there are only two or three chapters. But I hope that you like its last few chapters and feel free to suggest how it should end. Enjoy!:
Five
Luke looked off into the distance and saw something rustling a few yards in front of him and Nina.
Nina must have heard the noise too, because she looked into that direction. "Did you hear that?" she asked.
Luke nodded. "I have a bad feeling that we're not the only ones in this city besides Oscar and Aldous."
Suddenly, about twenty people came out from behind a pile of rubble and they ran towards Luke and Nina. All the newcomers wore a blank red t-shirt, jeans, and black shoes.
"We'd better get out of here," said Luke. He hastily got up and ran back towards the minivan with Nina hot on his heels.
The more Luke and Nina ran, the smaller the gap between the two of them and the chasing mob became.
After about a minute, the minivan came into sight. Luke was greatly relieved when he and Nina clambered into the minivan while the mob was still a good twenty feet away.
"Trey! Drive!" yelled Luke. There was no response. "Trey?"
Luke looked around the van and saw that he and Nina were the only people in it.
"Oh, no!" breathed Luke. "This isn't good. Where'd everybody go?"
"I don't know!" said Nina. "Can you drive this thing?"
"I can try!" Luke climbed into the front seat and looked for the key that would start the vehicle. He could not find it. "I can't start the minivan! There's no key!"
Nina sighed heavily. "Why would they leave the van unlocked, but they take they key with them?"
Before Luke could respond, the mob began to bang on the windows of the minivan.
"You have five seconds to put your hands up, or you'll be shot!" shouted someone from the mob.
Luke looked at Nina. She already had her hands up.
Reluctantly, Luke did the same.
After Luke and Nina were handcuffed and pulled out of the minivan, the two of them were roughly escorted into the warehouse that was next to the vehicle.
Inside, the warehouse, dim lights illuminated the open space that was mostly cluttered with boxes and scraps.
The people from the mob led Luke and Nina to the center of the warehouse.
One of the men who'd handcuffed them pulled out a walkie talkie and spoke into it. "I have found the occupants from that suspicious van next to our building."
A minute later, two tall men that Luke immediately recognized walked over to him and Nina.
"Luke Garner," said Aldous Krankenur. "The boy who overthrew my perfect government. Oscar and I have been waiting a long time for his moment."
